Recycling targets aren't enough
UK policies mean valuable resources are still wasted after collection
UK waste strategy relies on recycling targets to drive action. But, once collected, materials are often lost to the economy instead of providing a valuable stream of secondary raw material which could used by industry.
Our new report describes the scale of the problem and the opportunities for plastic, steel and critical raw materials. We outline the measures that would 'pull' these materials back into use by manufacturing.

Our new strategy outlines our work over the next three years.
It describes how we will be deploying our skills and experience, developed over nearly 40 years, to target the areas we believe are most pressing. This includes
